Abstract
A pressure regulating valve comprises a valve housing comprising a pressure-regulating chamber having an inlet for high pressure fluid and an outlet for pressure-regulated fluid, and a valve element received in the pressure-regulating chamber and movable axially therein for regulating the pressure of the fluid passing from the inlet to the outlet. The valve element comprises a regulating element having a regulator head slidably and sealingly received in the valve housing, the regulating element extending into the regulating chamber, at least one spring, and an adjustment head for adjusting an initial compression of the at least one spring within the regulating chamber. The at least one spring is integrally formed with and extends between the regulator head and the adjustment head.
